摘要

本文探讨了斯特德曼的处女作《大洋之间的光》(2012)中永恒的道德主题及其对人类思想和行为的影响。她的目的是研究她的角色如何面对战后苛刻的环境，处理生活中具有道德挑战性的事件，以及他们如何能够与社会公认的是非观念以及他们所做的严肃决定的后果作斗争。第一次世界大战的老兵汤姆·舍伯恩安顿下来，开始了灯塔看守人的新工作，并与伊莎贝尔结婚，但他并没有找到平静，而是面临着几个道德困境，这在他和妻子之间，以及战前的自己和真实的自己之间造成了冰冷的距离。从这个意义上讲，本文试图通过汤姆的角色来描述斯特德曼对人类道德和决策的本质以及它们可能带来的悲剧性后果的看法。

The fight between right and wrong: Exploring morality in M. L. Stedman’s novel The Light between Oceans

Abstract The paper explores the eternal theme of morality and its effects on human thoughts and actions as depicted in M. L. Stedman’s debut novel The Light between Oceans (2012). The aim is to study how her characters, facing a demanding post-war environment, deal with morally challenging events in their lives and how they are able to fight the socially accepted concepts of what is right and what is wrong as well as the consequences of the serious decisions they make. Tom Sherbourne, a WWI veteran, settles down to his new job as lighthouse keeper and marriage with Isabel, but instead of finding peace, he faces several moral dilemmas which create a cold distance between him and his wife, as well as between his pre-war and actual self. In this sense, the paper tries to describe what Stedman has to say - through Tom’s character - about the nature of human morality and decision-making and how tragic their consequences might be.
